Thoughtful, well-crafted pieces by beloved outdoor favorites such as Aldo Leopold and August Dereleth, contemporary writers such as Justin Isherwood and George Vukelich, plus a few gifted newcomers venerate the many ways in which people relate to this beautiful land and how the outdoors has shaped or changed their lives. This gathering of some of Wisconsin's finest writings, illustrated by several of the state's most talented artists, is a reflection of what the harvest moon traditionally symbolizes-a coming together of people at harvest time to celebrate life and the fruits of the earth. |

| Publisher Description: Part guide and part spiritual journey, this visually stunning book celebrates America's statewide system of historic back country roads. It takes armchair travelers on a richly illustrated journey through the most beautiful landscapes of one of the nation's most geographically diverse states and serves as a guide for those who decide to embark on an actual trip over these charming lanes. The project began when photographer Bob Rashid undertook a two-year odyssey to preserve the remarkable sights along the 67 official Rustic Roads in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's Rustic Roads, in the images of Rashid and the words of five of Wisconsin's most recognized and cherished authors, is a testament to places where the efficiency of a road is not measured by its speed, nor its purpose necessarily defined by a destination. |
